Hi.
Both are government and top level engineering institutes of India.
IIT - Indian institute of technology
NIT - National institute of technology
NITs take admission through JEE Main rank And IITs take admission through JEE Advanced rank. There are total 31 NITs with approx. 18K seats and 23 IITs (Including ISM) with approx 10500 seats .
You can understand the difference between IITs and NITs from the below points
1- Quality of Education: When it comes to the quality of education provided IITs are ahead of the NITs. Both IITs and NITs are extremely good in providing education and producing good engineers, but at the same time the top IIT colleges have an edge because of their high standard of studies.
2- Production of young leaders and founders: The research conducted in the US proved that IITians are among the leading founders of the top startups in America. IITs are the only non US university with most number of founders of companies in the US.
Flipkart, a leading e-commerce was established by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, who were IIT-Delhi pass outs. Arjun Malhotra is the co-founder of HCL Technologies and is an IIT-Kharagpur graduate. Simply 360 is a social media monitoring and analytics platform which was founded Bhupendra Khanal, who completed his studies from NIT-Durgapur. Microland technologies was started by Pradeep Kar, who completed his education from NIT-Nagpur. The way of education and approach is also better in IIT, but it doesn't mean that IITs are not good. Both NITs and IITs are extremely good in providing education and producing good engineers, but at the same time the top IIT colleges have an edge because of their high standard of studies.
Hope it helps.

Ah! I am really sorry. I misunderstood the question.
Let me tell you the difference between the two here.

See On any day, NIT is the best. It is run by central government. IIIT's are funded by private and government. IIIT's are recent creations. Mostly IIIT'S are funded by private software companies like Infosys, etc. IITs teach diverse disciplines. IIIT'S predominantly teach computer-related disciplines only. There is a quite a difference between NIT's (National Institute of Technology) & IIIT's (Indian Institute of Information Technology). For NIT's they run almost all streams/branches related to engineering. All NIT's run B.Tech Course, whereas some of them also runs M.Tech & P.hd as well. For IIIT's primarily focuses upon CS, IT & ECE branch of engineering & there master's & doctorate as the same.
Since both the institutes takes admissions via JEE Mains and there admission process goes at par through JOSAA. For CSE, Top merit candidates usually go for old NIT's like NIT trichy, warangal, surathkal, calicut, allahabad etc rather than IIIT's. I can't question there choice because these institutes really possess a good coding culture and healthy environment to excel & there students even get awesome placements. But if you get a choice to take between these NIT's & IIIT hyderabad then without thinking much choose the latter. Reason being simple that IIIT Hyderabad (International Institute of Information Technology) is one of the best in India for CSE. It's academics also outmatches some of the old IIT's. Provide better exposure than NIT's & average placement is way better than them. IIIT allahabad is also a very good option in this case.
Hope this helps you and I am again sorry for the inconvenience.

Tq bro. Can you also give answer to my yesterday's question plzz bro
My marks is about 65 in April attempt, I am an obc-pwd student. Can i get a seat in NITs with the group cse
The cutoff for obc- PWD students for JEE main is somewhere close to 19 or 20 marks so all you need to achieve is somewhere close to 35 to be eligible for an NIts and if you go anywhere greater than 50 you can easily get an NIT so I would suggest you to you know completely forget about the disability of yours over to the hardest of your ability and cheap as much as possible because this is the most easiest opportunity or going to get. Gooluck
Do I have an opportunity to get cse&ece
Yes there are opportunities but don't lose hope and hope for the best
